Teledyne Leeman Labs (USA) announces the release of a new application note on the analysis of Mercury in whole blood by Thermal Decomposition and Atomic Absorption.

Mercury is a toxic element that can be inhaled as vapor or pass through the skin and into the blood stream. Compounds of mercury can enter the body through the lungs, skin or by ingestion. Repeated exposure to mercury has adverse health effects. Individuals at high risk of exposure or who are suspected of mercury intoxication are typically monitored through analysis of blood and urine samples. This application note describes the direct analysis of blood samples using the Hydra-C Mercury Analyzer.
